The DSRV Avalon

The DSRV Avalon was a specialized deep-sea submersible designed by the U.S. Navy for rescue missions to assist distressed submarines. Capable of diving deep into the ocean, it could carry a crew of up to 12 people and operate in challenging underwater conditions. Its primary function was to quickly locate and rescue crews trapped inside submerged submarines, providing a safe and efficient way to reach them. The Avalon was valued for its advanced technology, reliability, and ability to perform under extreme pressure and darkness at great depths.
